need to find a reasonable gift for a staff support member
There's a guy at work who always backs me up and helps me in so many ways - including covering my butt more than once.

To show my appreciation, I gave him a very nice bottle of tequila, his drink of choice, once, but now that's been done and I want to get him something different. I don't want to send flowers. I don't know how to pick cigars.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

1. Does he have a favorite restaurant?
Perhaps a gift certificate for a meal there.

2. A nice fountain pen.
Doesn't have to be expensive. I've bought decent fountain pens for less than $50, and they're sort of my "old standby" for business colleagues' birthdays, etc.

4. See if any massage therapist would do a gift certificate thing
Getting the knots out goes a long way to make somebody feel appreciated.

6. ALL EXCELLENT IDEAS, AND I THANK YOU
I have what I need. DUers Rock!

(I wanted to get him something from levenger.com, embossed with his initials, but they spell out something that God apparently hates, so I think I'll skip that.)
